I am still having trouble to eat broccoli in raw. I steamed them in one minute and then eat them. Can anyone share how you eat broccoli in raw? Any invented idea? I can not stand that raw taste from broccoli. Broccli is ver good for people with stomach diease, right? thank you. Re: How do you eat broccoli in raw?

2. Insert broccoli 3. Chew 4. Swallow Seriously, if you don't like the taste, don't eat it. Re: How do you eat broccoli in raw?

Date: May 19, 2007 05:22PM I second that notion---why eat it?
There is so much to discover that you find palatable! You don't want broccoli, why force it? If you can't "stomach it", it might not be so good for your stomach! I think rawfoodism is about raw natural PALATABLE food and nothing should be forced as in "shoud do". Simple! Best wishes, Elakti Re: How do you eat broccoli in raw?

Date: May 19, 2007 05:32PM Try growing your own broccoli... I find my home-grown broccoli is always softer and has a different, sort of leafier taste. More salad-y. Re: How do you eat broccoli in raw?

Date: May 19, 2007 05:55PM The stalks can be shredded in a food processor. You can make a slaw with them, or add them to your salads. they are pretty good that way.
But the flowers: I don't like them raw, either. Re: How do you eat broccoli in raw?

Date: May 19, 2007 05:58PM I adore raw broccoli
You could try the flowering variety ( Or perhaps make a nice dressing to go with it or marinade it in ""curry" type flavours overnight, soften it up. Isnt really worth that much trouble if you disklike it mind!! Better to enjoy what veg you love ..as they come! Re: How do you eat broccoli in raw?

Date: May 19, 2007 06:09PM I cut up broccoli into smaller pieces-- including some of the stalks-- and put it in the food processor with a half-tsp. of smoked sesame oil and whatever else I have on hand that makes sense, and it's wonderful.

Date: May 19, 2007 06:52PM IMO raw starchy vegetables arn't a great (or necessary) adunct to a fresh whole foods diet. Certainly steaming broccoli makes it more palatable and easeful on the stomach (not necc. MORE digestable), whereas cooking spinach produces opposite results. I would continue eating it steamed if its enjoyable and helps with your transition, but I can't agree that in any form it does anything to 'combat' stomach disease.
gourmet raw foods seems to revel in raw starch, yam puddings mixed with dates etc...enhancing 'foods' with spices and oils and ?fruits?. These 'meals' are often food combining nightmares, and include combinations of things that even SWD eaters would never have on one plate. Re: How do you eat broccoli in raw?

Date: May 19, 2007 08:48PM I know what you feel about raw broccoli. I used to love it steamed with fresh lemon squeezed on it. I would eat huge amounts. I am very new to raw eating. I tried a smoothie that was delicious and had no taste of broccoli. The recipe is from Vita-Mix & tastes good:
2 broccoli florettes 1/2 kale leaf 1/2 celery stalk 2 small carrots 1/4 apple 1/4c cold water 1/2c ice cubes It yields 1 1/2c I also chop raw broccoli on the fine size and toss it in any green salad. You hardly notice it's there. I do miss the steamed broccoli but I'm trying to be good. Good luck! Joan Re: How do you eat broccoli in raw?

Eat whatever you are craving. Don't go by what anyone says is good for you. Trust your body, it knows what you need. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
